est In educational matters, another year
Prof. Ogden remarked, in the course {
II his talk, that he had not labored in
IS County where the older people joined S
i universally with the young, in School
it and Sabbath Schools, as in Jackson CouI
# ty. This speaks well for our people. w
i close up the old year with educations
: matters at the highest point of Interest
d Our Sabbath Schools and Churches ar
]. doing we'll, and We have wonderful in
J. terest in the Temperance cause prevail
Q ing. We are certainly in the line of pro
+ gress as regards all branches of education
D and we do not believe any County in th
? State can show a finer lot of educators
physically, than we have here. Altogeth
, er, We have just cause for pride in tht
cause of education in Jackson County.
| wv. NJ. Brooks, of Byers, called to-day
} ..... We had a pleasant call from Isaac
J Parry jr., of Jimes. Jackson County has
, no better young men than the Parry boys
, -. David d. Jones, of Clay, called .....
There was a big time prepared for at
Jones' Hall tonight. We acknowledge
an invitation to a dance, musical enter
tainment, festival, &C., but as a dancer
we are slightly out of practice, and had to
forego the enjoyment .... The Salvation
Army wound up the old year in the old
4 O'hara building, on lower Main Street.
SATURDAY.-SRowing and freezing.
The New Y ear was ushered in with in
Vulnerable packages of crackers. By the
way, this cracker nuisance will have to
be regulated by another year. A simple
fellow, who ought to have been confined
in a straight jacket, stood on the Stern
berger corner this evening, lighting crack
ers and throwing them at the feet of pass
ing ladies. The fool quit it just in time
to save lighting on his head on the side
/ walk. Several ladies came near having
their clothes set on fire. Mrs. Sheriff
Lively is suffering from strange affec-
! tion of one foot, which is quite painful at
times We fear the boys over at
Chestnut Grove have gotten up conspir-
/ acy on our good friend Deming Hoskins.
| Hiram Stephenson is in town to-day. He
! says there was fair and square. race be-
tween Hoskins and himself, for cane,
at the recent Church Fair, which he won,
| but didn't get his cane. He heard the re-
port that Deming hauled the cane home.
| Hiram cannot see the beauty of posing as
| the popular man, and allowing some 9TH
er man to walk off with the prize. -.
We regret that we were unable to attend
the Annual Reunion of the "F. H. o." So
ciety tonight at Mr.. Dungan's residence
This Society is composed Of some of our
best young men-all bright and well-edu-
Gated The object of the Society is the
educational improvement of its members,
we believe. And we have no fears as to
the success of these young men. The So
ciety is a year old tonight. The dance
at Jones Hall last night was not largely
attended b. D. Evans Esq. an old
pupil of the Proprietor of this paper call
ed to-day. He is now one of the oldest
and best of Jackson County's excellent
teachers, and remembers well-ths sarly
School days, even recalling flogging ad-
ministered for pushing over one of the
old-fashioned puncheon benches.
SUNDAY.-Freezing! A big Temper
ance Meeting at Jones' Hall, addressed in
a vigorous discourse by Rev. c. E. Ted
ford. The speaker drew plain, telling |
picture of the situation, and spoke unre-
seryedly of our duty as citizens, regard
ing the Devils traffic. He took the true |
ground that the doggery- keeper is a
tempter, who seeks to entice men into
wrong-doing. The Devil is a tempter,
and all who follow his lead are tempters |
therefore the doggery-keeper is pursu-
ing course in harmony with, if not
part of, the work of Satan. This is the
true idea. The doggery-keepers have
been the most favored class of people in
this country. Men would not be toler-
ated in a community. in much less dan
gerous business. A horse-thief who |
should locate in community for the
purpose of carrying On his business
would be hunted down like a wild beast |
and should be. Yet miserable bloat
of a doggery-keeper may carry on his in
fernal traffic in the best of communities,
and good men will frequently court his
friendship and his influence. Will any
sane man attempt to deny that one dog
gerry, or one pool-room, is a thousand |
times more dangerous in a community than
a score of horse-thieves? We are pleased to
to regard this liquor crime from the same
standpoint from which Revs Tedford,
and Rudisill regard it. 1t is high time
the people were arousing to the import
ance of pushing Temperance work. Pro-
tracted meeting began at the M. E. Churh |
tonight, with good attendance.
The funeral services of the late Jacob |
Miller were conducted at the family resi-
dence. some four or five miles above
town this morning at ten o'clock.
Observation-Disclosures. Billy and Char
lie McGhee returned from visit to CO. |
lumbus. go. Benz. Simpson has been Wis
iting in Columbus for few days. $50.
Another dance advertised for tonight.
The Minstrel Show on Saturday |
night did not rake in much wealth, and |
have passed on. ....T The partnership be-
tween Leach s. Powell has been dissolved. |
Mr.. Powell has opened an Office over the
postoffice, Broadway, where he will at
tend to law business and act as Pension
Agent Those who deal with Elmer will
find him a square man and good law
yer. Johnny Mcclure handed us to-
day the age of the late Thos. P. Mcclure.
His age was "a years, IL months and Is
days. -. The meeting at M. E. Church |
tonight, while fairly attended, was not |
as largely attended by members as it |
should have been. The meetings will |
doubtless increase in interest, and the
Church should rally solidly about the
faithful, active minister. 49,. Miss Lucy |
Jones returned home to-day from Leba-
non. The Silver Cornet Band expect |
to go to Oak Hill the latter part of this |
